The event drew an enthusiastic turnout of around 78 local agriculturalists, including 52 women and 26 men. Organized under the state-funded project \"Production, Popularisation &amp; Supply of Quality Bioinoculants in Rice-Based Cropping &amp; Farming System of Odisha\" (Jaiva Poshak), this institutional event was held in close collaboration with the Ghumusara Farmer Producer Company Limited (Ghumusara FPCL) to promote long-term regional soil health and community empowerment.\r\nThe training session was coordinated by Dr. Sai Krishna Repalli, Research Associate, who led the technical instruction by highlighting the field benefits and specific application protocols of core biofertilizer technologies. These included NRRI Endo N, NRRI Endo NPK, Rhizobium, PSB, Trichoderma, Azolla, and Tech NRRI Decomposer. Dr. Repalli explained how these scientific innovations effectively substitute synthetic chemical inputs, preserve vital soil biological health, and offer robust biological disease control across local cropping frameworks.\r\nOn-site coordination was supported by Sri Santosh Kumar Mohapatra and Sri Prasant Kumar Nayak of Ghumusara FPCL, who helped guide the community discussions. The ground execution, logistics, and smooth delivery of the program were facilitated by project staff members Ms. Rajasri and Mr. Swapnajit Panda. A major success of the program was the interactive engagement of the local community, especially the 52 women farmers who participated closely in the technical modules. This training acts as an initial milestone for agricultural extension in Ganjam, establishing a master-trainer model that empowers local farmers to share this technical knowledge on balanced fertilizer usage and lead their peers toward a high-yielding, chemical-free future.\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/CRRIFFS-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/CRRIFFS-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/CRRIFFS-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/CRRIFFS-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>","_en_post_name":"empowering-ganjam-farmers-with-crri-biofertilizer-technologies-and-sustainable-extension-models","_en_post_excerpt":"","_en_post_title":"Empowering Ganjam Farmers with CRRI Biofertilizer Technologies and Sustainable Extension Models <img src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/new-2.gif\" width=\"25\" height=\"9\" border=\"0\" \/>","_hi_post_content":"","_hi_post_name":"","_hi_post_excerpt":"","_hi_post_title":"","edit_language":"hi","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28502"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28508,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28502\/revisions\/28508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
